Most of us suffer from back pain at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal discomfort. Dr. Elganainy and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Burton office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a highly effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to prevent future episodes.
A recent study from the University of Utah confirms what our Burton patients have experienced: your Burton chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back pain.
In this article, 747 patients were treated for low back pain. Each patient was assessed based on the first person they sought treatment with, whether it was a primary care physician, a chiropractor, or a physiotherapist.
What the authors found is that the men and women who first saw a chiropractor had less advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.
Other papers have found the same results. A 2012 study reported that chiropractic patients had the best functional recovery and pain relief for chronic back pain.
Chiropractic works by restoring the natural, pain-free function of your spine. Dr. Elganainy and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
